Oracle VM VirtualBox: Ticket #4184: Allow network drive mapping too all shared foldershttps://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4184
<p>
When I used VMware I could map a network drive (under Windows XP guest) to all shared folders within the host (Windows Vista). This was easy because when I went to:
My Network Places » Entire Network » VMware Shared Folders
</p>
<p>
There was a "folder" holding all shared folders and I could just map that folder to a network drive.
</p>
<p>
This doesn't seem to be possible with <a class="wiki" href="https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox">VirtualBox</a>. When I go to "<a class="wiki" href="https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox">VirtualBox</a> Shared Folders" in the network, I see one entry by shared folder and I have to map each folder to a network drive, which sucks if I have a bunch of shared folders.
</p>
<p>
Is it possible to do the same as VMware does in a future release?

Sorry, forgot to change this to enhancement, obviously this is not a defect.

That indeed makes sense and there is already an internal ticket for this enhancement. But with a low priority.

The priority needs to be upped. It should have been built in at the start.
